If you’re a lady that is slightly larger than a size UK 12, you might be seemingly perturbed by the reality of ladies designer clothes always verging on the small side. It’s a good thing if you have curves, but fashion designers don’t seem to think like that and that’s why their clothes always run much smaller than high street labels. Years of designer fashion creations have never really varied from the idea that they are designed for slim women, but with size 0 models promoting designer clothes these days, have things just gone a bit too far?

We all want to look and feel good and ladies designer clothes are often the best way for women to do this. The truth is though, many women that have curves genuinely struggle to get into designer clothes because of the small sizing and it makes them feel despondent. To start with, you have to be able to find a designer brand that caters for your size and this can be a lengthy process for some. Something else worth bearing in mind is the size discrepancy between high street clothes and ladies designer clothes from the top brands – you could be a size UK 10 in high street but suddenly find you’re a size UK 14 in designer. Slim women can also appreciate the nightmare battle with smaller sized designer clothes, which is why they often take drastic measures to fit into their favourite clothes.

Fashion designers have created this idealistic view of how their clothes are supposed to look and that’s why their small sized ladies designer clothes are always worn on the catwalk by very thin ladies. The reality though is quite different, and fashion designers must realise that not every lady is so slim, yet can still make the designer clothes look beautiful. It is sad that many fashion designers only envisage slim women wearing their clothes.

Luckily, this is not the end, and there are some fashion designers that are making their clothes a ‘true’ size UK 12 for example, meaning real women can fit into their pieces finally. Juicy Couture, for example, used to run particularly on the small side, but now a Juicy size Large will comfortably fit a UK 12 or 14, so maybe other designers will start following suit too.
